Summary

Rees traces the history of satellite communications technology, how the need for it arose, and how it developed into a global enterprise. He presents a detailed overview of the industry, describing the satellite services available worldwide and the international, national, and regional organizations that provide them, both public and private. He discusses the range of applications available for business, and the commercial practices and business services of the International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium (INTELSAT), and presents a look at how this technology is likely to develop. Excellent appendices provide information about worldwide TV channels, and all aspects of satellites in general. ISBN 0-471-62243-5: $44.95.
